UNSPSC 50122042: Wild caught monkfish

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Monkfish, that was raised in the wild and harvested as an adult, and is presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122042 Wild caught monkfish is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains sixteen state and local solicitations posted between January and July 2026, covering school nutrition programs, municipal grocery markets, county purchasing, and state agency food procurement across Georgia. None of these opportunities reference monkfish or any wild-caught seafood species by name or specification. The Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004) and the Houston County School District's direct-delivery food bid (ITB 27-001) represent the largest estimated expenditures in the dataset at $4.4 million and approximately $14 million annually respectively, yet neither includes monkfish. School district nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with IFBs and RFPs from Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County, Lamar County, Dougherty County, Treutlen County, the City Schools of Decatur, and Houston County all soliciting proteins including fresh and frozen meats, poultry, and seafood generically, but with no evidence of monkfish procurement. State-level and municipal food procurement in Georgia similarly emphasizes commodity-scale items such as frozen vegetables, dairy, grains, and generic protein categories rather than specialty seafood.

The code does not align with detected procurement patterns in the source. Public education and state agency food purchasing in this dataset targets high-volume, shelf-stable, and standardized items meeting USDA nutritional guidelines and Buy American requirements. Monkfish—a premium, specialty seafood product with limited domestic wild-catch availability—does not appear in line-item specifications, category groupings, or vendor qualification criteria across the opportunities reviewed. Firms pursuing this UNSPSC code in state and local markets should monitor school district seafood specifications and municipal market procurement more closely, but current activity does not support immediate pursuit based on recent solicitation evidence.
